A word is enough for the wise
litigator:



You get the point. There are always keyword filters and we know what this means. Telegram ain’t so safe either.

Hence most people pay for their own encrypted communication modalities. Even that ain’t 100% safe cos FBI and co can still eve drop.

Did they hack the wire? Or did they use social engineering to perform their hack? The weakest point in any security system is the human interface. I give you and Hushpuppi 100 years with an encryption algorithm. I will encrypt the info and keep the encryption key. Deploy all the resources in your arsenal to brute force the key. 100 years. Tell me the content of the encryption message.

Which social engineering.

This is what happened

The Bank of Valletta cyber-heist took place on February 13, 2019. Using malware planted on the bank's internal servers, hackers transfered €13 million ($14.7 million) from the bank's internal systems to accounts in the UK, the US, the Czech Republic, and Hong Kong.

Do you know what social engineering is? Or you think malware just get planted on servers anyhow?

Social engineering whether it's getting someone to click a link, or download a malicious email attachment, or eve open a malicious email is always the first stage of an attack. Because it's easier to compromise the human being than waste time trying to break into the system

This should make a good interview question for software engineers especially those who have worked with encryption. Just to check critical reasoning.

Yes, it’s probably impossible to break an end to end encryption which uses a good algorithm. I said probably because nothing is impossible. The tech to break may be out there but well hidden.

The main problem with WhatsApp is that it’s not opensource. We cannot see their code. We do not know if they are stealing our private keys and somehow uploading to their servers.

So everyone here going on about WhatsApp end to end encryption, is basing their argument on the premise that we trust Facebook, which is just laughable.

You can only really trust an opensource end to end encrypted app because you can verify the code and make sure the private keys are not being tampered with.

If it's a serious case, your best bet is to factory reset your phone and creating new accounts: email, WhatsApp, etc

Hi, I lost your number after I factory reset my phone. I have another problem can you help?
